Harry held his breath. The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer.
There were Death Eaters breaking into the Hogwarts tonight. Elwyn was not here, and Dumbledore had lost his magic, so he had to protect him. Harry tightened his grip on his wand. The next second, the door was suddenly knocked open. Someone barged in and shouted, "Remove your weapon!"
Before Harry could react, his body suddenly became very stiff.
He felt himself stumbling back to the wall of the tower and stood there like a statue, unable to move or speak.
He did not understand what was going on. "Remove your weapon" was not a Freezing Spell!
At this moment, in the green light of the Mark of Darkness, he saw Dumbledore's wand fly out of the wall in an arc in the air. He understood...
Dumbledore had used a Silence Spell to freeze Harry. He had used one second to chant the spell, so he had lost the chance to protect himself.
But Harry did not understand. Why would Dumbledore freeze him?
His magic was very precious now, and it was all used to fight against the power of the Double Serpent Wand. Why would he use it on himself?!
At this moment, Dumbledore stood with his back against the wall. His face was pale, but he still did not show the slightest panic or worry.
He only looked at the person who had removed his weapon and said calmly, "Good evening, Draco."
Malfoy took a few steps forward and quickly looked around to see if there was anyone else besides him and Dumbledore. His gaze fell on the second broom.
"Who else is here?"
"I was just about to ask you that. Are you acting alone?"
In the green light of the Mark of Darkness, Harry saw Malfoy's pale eyes stare at Dumbledore again.
"No," he said. "Someone is supporting me. Tonight, the Death Eaters broke into your school."
"Very good." Dumbledore said, as if Malfoy had shown him an ambitious homework plan. "You found a way to let them in, didn't you?"
"That's right!" Malfoy said, his breathing a little hurried. "I let them in, right under your nose, and you didn't notice!"
"How ingenious, indeed beyond my expectations, but not in that respect." Dumbledore said, "In fact, I just heard a roar in the air. It sounded terrible and ear-piercing. It seems that this visitor has a bad temper. Well, if I'm not mistaken, that should be Fenrir Greyback's voice. Frankly speaking, I was shocked that you actually invited him to the school where your friends live. "
"I didn't. I … I did cooperate with him, but I didn't know he was coming." Malfoy panted, his expression like a child who had done something wrong. Then, a trace of stubbornness flashed across his face. "He's here to seek revenge on Mason. As for the others …"
"I'm sorry to interrupt!" Dumbledore said gently. "If I may ask, the others you spoke of, your friends, where are they now? You seem to be alone and helpless. "
"Hmph, they ran into the guards you arranged, and they're fighting below." Malfoy said, "But it won't take long. The number of people who came tonight far exceeds your expectations … I'll come up first, I … I have a job to do."
"Alright, then get to it, my dear child."
Silence, silence, a long silence!
Malfoy hesitated. The hand in which he raised his wand seemed to weigh a ton.
Harry was imprisoned in his Cloak of Invisibility, his body unable to move. His eyes looked at the two people in front of him, his ears focused on the sounds of the Death Eaters fighting in the distance.
Elwyn had been separated from them for a while. He should have met Fenrir Greyback. As long as he held on, he would rush over. Although Dumbledore said he wanted to leave this world, Harry could not see why the principal wanted to die in Malfoy's hands.
As long as he held on for a while, Elwyn knew that they were here, there was still hope.
Malfoy only stared blankly at Dumbledore. He did not seem to have the courage to make a move …
… …
In mid-air, Elwyn turned his flying broomstick around and flew towards Gryffindor's tower.
He flew into the window of the corridor outside the tower and jumped out of the flying broomstick.
Elwyn transformed the Animagus in mid-air into a black cat and quickly ran to the lounge.
Because of the roar of the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, everyone in the castle had been completely awakened. Although there was no one in the corridor, Elwyn heard the sound of fighting coming from the main staircase in the distance. There were rumbling sounds and the chanting of spells. The guards of the Order of the Phoenix and the teachers of the Hogwarts were already fighting with the intruders.
At this time, there was also a girl's shout coming from the front. Elwyn was a little anxious. He did not hear clearly whose voice it was. If Greyback met a student …
It should not be Elaine, but if it was Hermione …
He sped up and turned a corner.
Finally, Elwyn saw Hermione, Ginny and a group of pale junior students in the hall outside the lounge at the end of the corridor. There were also five Death Eaters standing opposite them.
The most eye-catching one was the one in the middle of the five.
His limbs were slender, his gray hair and beard were all tied together, and the black robe of the Death Eater was uncomfortably tight on his body. He was raising his head and roaring loudly. His voice was strange, a kind of hissing roar, ferocious and terrifying!
In addition, there was a pungent smell coming from his body. It was a mixture of the smell of mud, sweat, and, no doubt, the smell of blood.
He held his wand, and his dirty fingers had long, yellow nails.
It was the werewolf Fenrir Greyback …
… …
The stalemate and silence on the Astronomy Tower continued. Even though the battle below had entered a white-hot stage, even though Dumbledore no longer had his wand, even though he was actually so weak that he could no longer cast a simple spell, Malfoy was still hesitating.
He stared blankly at Dumbledore, and Dumbledore actually smiled in disbelief.
"Draco, oh Draco, you are not a murderous person."
"How do you know?" Malfoy asked immediately, as if he had been waiting for this question.
Obviously, he also seemed to realize how childish this sentence sounded. Under the green light of the Mark of Dark Magic, Harry saw his face turn red.
"You do not know my ability." Malfoy said, his tone becoming fierce, which made him look like he was bluffing. "You do not know what I have done!"
